What is Understanding Cystic Fibrosis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments about?

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease caused by a defective gene that produces thick, sticky mucus in the lungs, pancreas and other organs. This mucus builds up and clogs passages, making it difficult to breathe and digest food, and causing other issues. The disease can be diagnosed through newborn screening, sweat tests, or other genetic tests, and is treated through airway clearance, enzymes, antibiotics, and other therapies to manage symptoms.
